[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Wasilewski, Huth, Chilwell, Albrighton, King, Hammond, Fuchs, Okazaki, Kramarić, Vardy.

Subs: Maddison, Sesay, McCourt, Dodoo, Blyth.

 

[Borderfox]

How do you pronounce 'Dodoo' ?

Who cares about a lack of centre backs/midfielders when your team lines up in a 343?

 

[Miles Away]

Well..As it stands that's pretty close to full strength.

Only Ulloa and Drinky possibly missing. Wes too. And Schlupp.....actually, nevermind.

And Mahrez, Nugent etc...

I wouldn't read anything into the line-up tonight. There's another potentially tougher game tomorrow at Rotherham, so everyone should get close to 90 minutes over these two games. I expect we'll see more of a first team line-up at Birmingham on Saturday.

Spot on Jeffrey.

Though I shudder to think what our back three will look like tomorrow.

Has Schlupp featured in any of the games so far?

Yes, both of them.

 

[TommyK]

Was thinking about going to Rotherham tomorrow night. Not sure i'll bother after seeing that lineup.

 

[londonfox]

Burton: McLaughlin, Cansdell-Sherriff, Taft, Trialist A, Reilly, Butcher, Trialist B, Thiele, Palmer, Trialist C, Maynard

I wouldn't be worried about Trialist A but Trialist B on the other hand...

 

[Jeff]

Kramarić hits the bar.

 

[londonfox]

Kramarić hits the bar.

I hope he is ok.

 

[TommyK]

If that Taft fella for them the ex-leicester youth player?

 

[londonfox]

Yes

 

[fitz]

I see Burton's sponsors are attempting to break up Acme's monopoly on anvils. Get many coyotes round there?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Or is it 3-3-4?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

If that Taft fella for them the ex-leicester youth player?

The very same one. Opted to go and play in a 'mans' team , rather than 'boys' development squad B team.

He didn't have the option to stay at Leicester, his contract ended and he wasn't offered a new one.

 

[Jeff]

King hits the post.
